Deskeen — Screenshot. Elevated Deskeen is the best screenshot and screen recording app for Mac with Capture Color, OCR, a built-in annotation tool, Screen Annotation, Page Capture, Scrolling Capture, Capture History, Rename with AI, and a lot more.
Taking daily screenshots, recording your screen, and organizing materials takes far more time than you might think. Existing tools often offer only partial functionality—or require you to hop between multiple apps. Deskeen was born out of this very inconvenience.
The reason you need this app is simple: it brings the entire process of capturing, organizing, and retrieving your screen content into one seamless workflow. No complicated shortcuts. No digging through endless folders. Just instant access to exactly what you need, the moment you need it.
As a result, you can collect resources faster, manage them more neatly, and share them more securely. Deskeen 2 is not just another capture tool—it’s a productivity platform that reimagines your entire workspace.
In particular, Deskeen 2 introduces Screen Annotation, a new feature that transforms your Mac’s display into a creative canvas. Naturally, it’s fully integrated with both capture and screen recording functions, and includes Scrolling Capture, which is perfect for grabbing long or continuous content.
It also comes with the remarkable Page Capture feature, which automatically captures any content you specify—whether it’s ePub files, webcomics, manga, or anything visible on your screen—and turns it into images, animated GIFs, or PDFs.
This is why Deskeen 2 isn’t simply a tool for “taking” screens, but the starting point for completely redesigning your workflow. It’s a small beginning, but one we’ll continue to strengthen and grow—always by your side. We look forward to your support as we move ahead.

Was expecting to be able to save scrolling screen captures as PDF, but seems it's PNG or JPEG only - any plans to add this ?
